Tracey Rose on a group show in San Antonio, Texas

Work by Tracey Rose is featured on the Linda Pace Foundation’s group exhibition, Reclaimed, showcasing 25 monochromatic works by some of the most influential contemporary female artists working today (9 March – 26 January). As its title implies, the exhibition addresses the concept of ownership – both literally and figuratively – and the notion of “reclaiming” what belongs to a person and their communities, from their lands and governments to their physical bodies and basic human rights. Drawn from the Foundation’s collection, the exhibition serves as a departure from the institution’s typical spotlight on experimental and new media works, and provides insight into the depth and variedness of its permanent collection.

Candice Breitz on an exhibition looking at the representation of women

Work by Candice Breitz is included on the Kunst Museum Winterthur’s group exhibition, Women: Images of women through the centuries, in Switzerland (24 February – 17 June). The artworks on the exhibition consider how the images and depictions of women in western art have often created according to stereotypical ideas, in which the image of the woman has often been the image of the male creator and his idea of the woman. Curated by Konrad Bitterli and Andrea Lutz, the exhibition offers a distinctive counter to these representations by showcasing decisive contributions made by contemporary women artists which present renewed ideas on the image of women and their representation within the art canon.

William Kentridge on group exhibition at Harn Museum of Art in Florida

Work by Kentridge is included on the Harn Museum of Art’s group exhibition, Poetic and Political, at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida (15 August – 8 July). Poetic and Political explores two realms of perception often considered oppositional but more likely to work in tandem to make a rich, provocative and compelling visual impact. The exhibition juxtaposes the work of Josef Albers, a single artist focused on the psychic and emotive qualities of colour, with African and African American artists who confront the historic and contemporary traces of colonialism as they contribute to the power of healing and renewal.
